The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) accused South Korea on Wednesday of cooking up a "woman spy case" recently to tarnish Pyongyang's image.
The case was fabricated by South Korea in a bid to tarnish the international image of the DPRK, the official KCNA news agency said, citing a spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland.
The alleged "North woman spy" was "a criminal who fled after committing crimes against the state and the people, and human scum crazy for money, vanity and swindling," the spokesman said.
The other suspect prosecuted by the South Korean intelligence agency in the "spy case" was "also human scum who betrayed the homeland and the people," the spokesman added.
He called the case "a sheer lie" and "a grave provocation to the DPRK." The country will "never remain an on-looker" to it, he noted.
Seoul's intelligence agency and prosecutors said last week they arrested a female spy named "Won Jong Hwa" from the North posing as a defector, who had been handing over sensitive military information from the South to her homeland. Along with her arrest was a 63-year-old man, identified only by his family name Kim, who was also allegedly disguised as a refugee from the North.
